Devin Harris is not the reason the spurs lost that series.Quote:

Other than that, dude got clowned by Timmy
Should we loop Adrian Griffin in there too as a Spur killer? Cause he's gone too.
or KVH with some bigs 3's in Game 7?Quote:

Yeah my bad, I forgot about KVH's quickness. The Spurs didn't have an answer for him all series.
Recently Dirk meekly took it up the ass against the 8th seeded Warriors and lost in the first round, a year after D-Wade took the Finals from Dirk (or did he cave under the pressure) and showed him how to win a series.Quote:

If Mavs lose the series its not bc Diop and Harris arent playing
Terry always seems to play well against the spurs, he's still there.
or Avery...he knew the whole Spurs system and all their playsQuote:

We just couldn't score enough. On top of that, we had no answer for Devin and Dirk, which compounded the problem. Actually, Devin was even more key than Dirk in that series, because Dirk we already know we have a problem containing, but he only pretty much takes jumpers (at least these days he does). But Devin drove right through and not only scored, but got our bigs in foul trouble, plus made Tony work hard on defense.
You can laugh all you want at the importance we give Devin, but he was one of the guards that gave our team the most problems during the Duncan era. Since he's gone, we've beaten your team fairly consistently.
Check the schedule for me. Are the Mavs playing the Warriors or the Heat this weekend? Or are they still playing the Spurs - a team that has no one to match up with him?Quote:

It will come down to bench play......bottom line!
no match up problems for the spurs...the mavs are pussies...they'll find a way to choke
Watch a lot of basketball, do you?Quote:
